β¦ Synopsis
Tensile strength data for five thermoplastics [polycarbonate, phenoxy, poly(methy1 methacrylate), polyethylene, and ethyl cellulose] are analyzed according to a modified rate equation. The agreement of the test results with the behavior described by the equation is excellent. Treatment of this type may be used to predict behavior of polymers from limited test data.

## Abstract One of the most important features influencing the mechanical behavior of a fabricated thermoplastic item is the spatial arrangement of the polymer molecules. __Inter alia__ processes developed for controlling the pattern of orientation of the polymer molecules are discussed.
## Abstract An idealized model for flexible foam in tension is developed. The model includes large deformations and cell structure orientation before and after deformation. It is predicted that two quantities affect the initial modulus of an unoriented foam: the density and a cell structure paramet
Measurements of the tear strength of EPDM/PP thermoplastic elastomers (EPDM/PP TPEs, Santoprene 201-87) were carried out at various rates and temperatures. In addition, a cutting technique developed recently was adopted to measure the fracture energy in a process where a well-controlled geometry of
